The variety of organic oranges known as organic rhode red oranges which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50395135 Organic rhode red orange purees, a Commodity code, names a narrow product class that state and local governments rarely procure directly as a line item. Recent solicitations tagged with this code actually span broad food-service procurement across shelf-stable produce, fresh and frozen items, and general food-service commodities for schools, detention facilities, state institutions, and county nutrition programs. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) for seniors in an IWQ released October 13, 2026, and the Oregon Department of Corrections issued twin ITBs for canned applesauce in bulk (four truckloads totaling roughly 4,760–1,904 cases across separate bids in May and July 2026). Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items (fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products including proteins, dairy, fruits, vegetables, and disposables) across state hospitals and supported living centers with a potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice similarly pursue food and consumable products in bulk, with contracts typically ranging from roughly $1.5 million (El Paso HHSC facility) to multi-year awards. Issuing bodies span state procurement offices (Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Georgia), county boards of education and commissioners (Georgia, Connecticut), school districts (Texas, Georgia), and state health and corrections departments. Most recent solicitations post on tight timelines—due dates typically 5–14 days after posting—and specify brand-or-equal or brand-specific specifications, firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery, and compliance with Buy American provisions and prevailing wage where applicable.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with recent opportunities reflecting ongoing seasonal and quarterly purchasing cycles. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas HHSC/DSHS represent repeat buyers pursuing multiple tranches year-round. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229); Oregon Department of Corrections' ITBs for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered in full truckloads (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historical price); Texas HHSC's IFB for food and consumable products to El Paso State Supported Living Center under HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million annually); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice statewide cafeteria food products IFB spanning 382 line items to six regional distribution points (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). Delivery requirements are typically FOB Destination prepaid by vendor, with 60–72 hour or longer response times to orders and minimum shelf life specifications. Insurance and compliance certifications (including anti-collusion, debarment verification, USDA standards, and E-Verify authorization) are standard. Award is made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value; split awards by line item are common.
